Layout
Baishinji Station is an above-ground station with two opposed side platforms and two tracks, and is unmanned. Behind Platform 2 is the coast.

This is to allow trains bound for Takahama to enter Platform 1 in the event that platform 2 is hit by high waves during abnormal weather. The double-track section from Matsuyama-shi Station ends at this station, and the section to Takahama Station, the terminal station, is a single track.

History
